Tesla already manages to recycle 92% of its used batteries/Tesla ya consigue reciclar el 92% de sus baterías usadas

The sale of electric cars is already a fait accompli, even in some northern European countries, only electric vehicles are sold and this we want to or not will increase until it surpasses and displaces internal combustion engines, as a consequence according to studies carried out in the next decade there will be up to 13 million tons of used batteries.
La venta de coches eléctricos ya es un hecho consumado incluso en algunos países del norte de Europa ya solo se venden vehículos eléctricos y esto queramos o no irá en aumento hasta superar y desbancar a los motores de explosión, como consecuencia según los estudios realizados en la próxima década habrá hasta 13 millones de toneladas de baterías usadas.
This can be a big problem for the environment so it is necessary to go looking for solutions today so that we do not find ourselves with the whole problem suddenly and here once again our friend Elon Musk takes the lead as he has announced that he will be able to recycle up to the 92% of your Tesla batteries used.
Esto puede suponer un gran problema para el medio ambiente por lo que es necesario ir buscando soluciones hoy para no encontrarnos con todo el problema de repente y aquí una vez más nuestro amigo Elon Musk lleva la delantera pues ha anunciado que será capaz de reciclar hasta el 92% de las baterías usadas de sus Tesla.

As reported by the Tesla company, it is already capable of recovering 92% of the materials used in its batteries thanks to its own recycling system in which it has been working since last year together with third-party companies, it has even already been installed with success the first phase of the process that is already underway at the Nevada gigafactory.
Según ha comunicado la compañía Tesla ya es capaz de recuperar el 92% de los materiales utilizados en sus baterías gracias a un sistema propio de reciclaje en el que ha estado trabajando desde el pasado año junto con compañías de terceros, incluso ya se ha instalado con éxito la primera fase del proceso ya está en marcha en la gigafábrica de Nevada.
The company's argument is that by recycling the batteries in the facilities, the manufacturing processes can be improved to facilitate recycling in addition to being able to use the recycled material in the manufacture of the new batteries with the consequent saving of paperwork and transport, in addition of course to the costs.
El argumento de la empresa es que reciclando las baterías en las propias instalaciones pueden mejorarse los procesos de fabricación para facilitar el reciclaje además de poder utilizar el material reciclado en la fabricación de las nuevas baterías con el consecuente ahorro de trámites y transporte además por supuesto de los costes.

Obviously, what is really interesting is the economic aspect due to the saving of materials that this process implies, as Tesla has stated last year, 1,300 tons of nickel, 400 tons of copper and 80 tons of cobalt were recycled from used batteries that were recycled by this process.
Obviamente lo verdaderamente interesante es el aspecto económico por el ahorro de materiales que este proceso supone, según ha manifestado Tesla el año pasado se consiguieron reciclar 1.300 toneladas de níquel, 400 toneladas de cobre y 80 toneladas de cobalto de las baterías usadas que fueron recicladas por este proceso.
That means that for every 1000 kWh of used batteries, Tesla manages to recover enough raw materials to manufacture 921 kWh of new batteries, which is quite a feat and there is no doubt that it helps enormously to alleviate the problem of battery waste that is forecast. for the next decade not to mention cost savings.
Eso quiere decir que por cada 1000 kWh de baterías usadas, Tesla consigue las recuperar materias primas suficientes para fabricar 921 kWh de nuevas baterías lo cual es toda una proeza y no cabe duda que ayuda enormemente a paliar el problema del residuo de baterías que se pronostica para la próxima década por no hablar de ahorro de costes.

Hola @mauromar, eso es genial…
Elon Musk al rescate.
Saludos @mauromar, un ahorro de materiales a este nivel no solo ayudaría abaratar los costos, cambiaría la economía que conocemos.
Eso sí que es trabajar con hechos y no con palabras.
Este si sería un verdadero pasó a un sistema sostenible y limpio.
Hi @mauromar
Thank you so much for writing this post about Tesla which is a leading company in the world that our dogs highly advanced technology and they also care for the planet.
I am a big time fan of Tesla not because they are manufacturing electric cars but it's because they have adopted a technology which is very much friendly for our planet and they are delivering the best of experience to their uses which is another thing that it makes me like their products.
Nice post
Hello friend, hey good, I think it's an excellent idea, nowadays our planet needs our help to continue being our space to live healthily. Recycling is something that we should all do, so we would contribute a grain of sand. Greetings
Hello @mauromar
This is a plus for the company, and the planet. I had no idea this was being done, but I think it's great.
I also had no idea that north of Europe there were countries that were only selling electric cars, a lot of changes, but it seems very good.
This is excellent, we certainly have high hopes in the massification of electric vehicles as a way to combat climate change, but the most worrying thing about these vehicles is precisely that their batteries have very polluting components such as lithium, which is also difficult to extract. The battery recycling procedure is necessary if electric vehicles are to be a real solution to mitigate global warming.
I like to read your blogs because your blogs are very knowledgeable.
I knew something new from your blog. Thank you.
